Edgerton on Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton, who returned to
this city to day, YVES asked by an Associ-
ated Press reporter if his views agreed
with those of Commissioner Oberly as OK
pressed in his recent letter to the Illinois
Democratic Association. They certainly
dc not, said Edgerton. II do not be-
lieve in the extreme or strained construc-
tons of the civil service law. The state
organizations have as much right to exist
as they ever had. There is nothing in
the law to prohibit it. A man is not de-
prIved of the privileges of citizenship be-
cause he holds public Office, and l think
the idea that a man shall abandon his
residence in a state, or his citizenship
when he takes an Office in Washington is
preposterous. The law is all right, and
it only needs to be constructed in accord
ance with common sense and practical ex.
perience."

A New Form OF Profession.

New YORK, Oct. 10 The Universal
list general convention began a business
.esslon az the church of the Divine
Paternity this morning. Committees
were appointed on elections and religious
services. Delegates were present from
all parts Of the country. The Rev. Mr..
Tomlinson, d. D., reported on behalf
of the committee of professions of faith
the following form of profession instead
of the old form:
First-l believe that the holy scriptures
of the old and new testamcnts contain a
revelation from God to mankind.
Second-I believe in one God, the
Father Almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, in Jesus Christ his son, who is the
r~evealer OF God and the savior of the
world, and in his holy spirit, the Com
forter, through which all disciples of
Christ are united in one spiritual body.
Third believe in the necessity of
personal regeneration; in the forgiveness
Of sins; in the certainty of retribution; in
final holiness and happiness of all man
kind.
FOURTH believe that the opportuni-
ties, obligations and rewards of religion
are 10 their nature eternal and Of such i'm
mediate urgency that | ought to strive
earnestly for present salvation by repent
ing of my sins and diligently using means
Of grace which, in His mercy, God has
provided for me.

ATLANTA, Oct. l9.-The day was
rainy throughout, but the president and
Mrs. Cleveland entered their carriage at
IL o'clock, and made their way through
the mud to the exposition grounds. The
procession brought up in front of the
grand stand, where it was intended the
distinguished party should alight, but the
president, after considering the mud, de-
termined not to ventu. c. There was a
delay of one mortal hour before anything
happened, although several futile at
tempts were made to start the procession.
Finally the troops, perhaps 1000 strong,
came marching and slipping past in the
carriage to review them. When the col
umn had passed, the carriage was with
difficulty extracted from the soil,
and the proposed military reception hay
ing been abandoned, the party returned
to town.
In the afternoon the president was en-
tertained by Hon. Julius Brown, son of
Senator Brown. At the same hour the
most magnificent entertainment given
Mrs. Cleveland on the trip was provided
by Mrs. Henry w. Grady. For two hours
the ladies of the city called there and paid
their respects to the presidents wife. In
the evening a general public reception
was given at the mansion of Governor
and Mrs. Gordon. The great event of
the day was the torchlight procession of
the Young Mems Democratic League. A
drenching rain was falling, but that did
not dampen the ardor of enthusiasm.
The president LETT at midnight for
Montgomery.
